FORMALLY OPENED.
More rhan One Hundred Invited
Guests Enjoy thc Hospitality
OF the IIotcl Gordon.

OF the Hotel Gordon.
The formal opening Of the Gordon
House on the evening of July 4th,
was an event of kind which King.
wood has not seen before in its his.
tory. The need of pleasant and
finished home-hotel for summer visi.
tors as we'll as for that class of trav.
oilers who value splendid accommo.
dations has been felt here for years,
and felt more than ever since the
burning of two OF our hotels a short
time ago. 1t was to meet this need
and to supply this want that the pres.
ent Gordon House was built and fur.
nished.
The conception Of the enterprise
and the pushing it TO completion is
due to the energy AMI business clear
sightedness of William G.. Morley.
Esq. lie saw the need OF such a
house in Kingwood and he has now
finished such an one as our town and
county and State may we'll be proud
of The opening on the evening of
July 4th was social event worthy
of the occasion. The worth, gallant.
~ and beauty of Kingwood assem-.
bled to welcome the advent OF an en-.
terprise in which we all feel an inter.
est. There is q firm conviction
among our people that Kingwood is
in every way fitted to be the finest
summer resort in the State. 1t has
never been prominently brought for.
ward in that capacity; but it is not
too late to do it yet. The climate is
better than Oakland because it is
more uniform. The air is as pure as
New Mexico's air There are no fogs
to dampen and no cold summer nights
TO chill
The hotel stands on an cminence
from which it can be seen from nearly
all parts of the town; and, lighted
up as it was from the basement To the
very top of the flag stat, the building
presented an appearance at once i'm.
posing and beautiful. 1t impressed
one with sense of the gay and
cheerful combined with magnitude.
Every window In the three stories
was lighted, and the three halls, with
their polished stair cases were calcu.
lated to make one think Of read.of
buildings in Paris OF some other city
which we never saw. A number of
japanese lanterns lent additional
prettiness to the scene.
But the building and its decora-
tions and 6nishings were not really
the finest part Of the occasion. The
hospitality anil good cheer of the
proprietor, Mr. G.. w. S. Martin, his
wife and daughters, at once made the
hundred or more guests feel that each
one was welcome and at home. The
elegance and taste, the skill and or.
der of the supper was remarked by
all Everything moved as if by clock
work. There was no jar OF confusion.
Everything was in its place. The
whole evening passed like a bright
dream, and we hope that the future
Of the hotel and of its gentlemanly
proprietor, and OF its energetic owner
may be bright and cheerful like that
Fourth of July evening.
II the hotel docs not FIJI with sum.
mer visitors, it will not get what il
deserves. Guests soon must find
that enjoyment is here for them.
Those who come shall surely not feel
disappointed.

''The way to keep well is never to allow

distinguished lecturer before the students

the teacher guilty of literary "bull', but
before the end of the clinic the old ofes-

were his words. The secret of longevity
is chiefly found in promptitude in arresting
